The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic

Wow so deep /s

[-] seesaw@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 year ago

So Holocaust is not a tragedy? That's what you're saying?

[-] maiskanzler@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago

No, it's just a common saying that shows how people react to this sort of news. It's a bit cynical but not untrue.

[-] Liempong_pagong@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Hoho!

u/seesaw is looking for a reason to fight.

It's a common saying you buffoon.

[-] seesaw@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

"common saying"

How the fuck is that a common saying? That's a quote attributed to genocidal Stalin and it's a complete bullshit statement. Whoever repeats a moronic statement (and also very wrong) is also a moron. Death of millions is not just a statistics, it's a much bigger tragedy.

Edgy idiots trying to be cool with statements of dictators

Well i don't assign its meaning. I'm just informing of what that phrase is. If anything. You're the one appearing to be edgy with your unchecked emotion and tone of replies.

[-] seesaw@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago

Yeah sorry for my "unchecked emotion" for my ancestors getting slaughtered in concentration camps and you call it "just a statistics"

[-] Monkeyhog@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

The death of a billionaire however, is hilarious 🤣

[-] atp2112@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

The death of 4 is aquatic praxis

[-] Kovari@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

How is the death of anyone hilarious? Does it matter how much you have in your pocket book which will determine the level of hilarity to you? That's cold. I surely hope you have more empathy in person.

How is the death of anyone hilarious?

Easily......

[-] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz -2 points 1 year ago

I truly hope you people are not being serious..

They are probably very young. People get less extreme in their views as they grow older (usually).

[-] Hexadecimalkink@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

just more complacent to the poor state of humanity due to a lack of energy to change, or because the old benefit from the status quo.
